Kol
Shofar’s Green Chavurah is a dedicated and extremely enthusiastic group
of individuals who are committed to transforming the synagogue into a
model of eco-sustainability.... click for more information.
How to Build a Sukkah:
We held a Sukkah Building Workshop
at Kol Shofar, where we learned everything we need to build and
decorate a sukkah. Members of our community demonstrated different
models of sukkot, with guidance in how to do-it-yourself. People were so inspired that we thought it would be useful to post the information here on the web, and to start a photo gallery of congregants' sukkot. Please send photos to photos@kolshofar.org
